The hair color has never really bothered me because I'm a pretty firm believer that Lois truly can look like any woman which is sort of the point of her. I think she's one of the few female characters in a sea of female characters who isn't defined by her looks first and foremost but more by her job and her personality. I think that's rare and very cool. So I'd really be fine with any woman of any coloring or race playing Lois because I just think....she's the embodiment of what's inside and not what's on the outside in a really shallow world.

That is precisely it. I'll admit that the hair lightness (couldn't care less if Lois has black, brown, red, or auburn hair - just wanted something darker as typically depicted in the comics) bugged me a bit before we got any spy photos or official shots of Amy as Lois on set. However, once we got the shots of Amy in suits and other office wear with her press badge, I stopped caring. It was the uniform of Lois's profession that defined her visually for me. Lois is her job.

In fairness, I don't think anyone suggested she'd give a bad performance because she had red hair... Just that'd visually they'd have preferred something that was closer to the most popular depictions of Lois.

I don't feel this way anymore (for reasons I posted about recently), but I remember when I did

Yeah I get that but people really do seem to moan about unimportant stuff on here sometimes. Guess it shows the lack of news

That is very true, and the fact that they have in their mind the perfect Lois, and when the actress doesn't fit that persona, then its kinda hard for them to move past that....especially if the are multi-decade fans....

I don't think that's just a lack of news. It's fandom in general. What we care about seems trivial to non fans, what die hard unshakeable unflexible hardcore fans care about seems trivial to you or me

Precisely. Comics are a visual medium, so character appearance is a big part of who they are. I don't think anyone on here would criticize other posters for being upset if Cavill was a long haired blond in Man of Steel. I think the fact that all it takes is something as simple and easy as hair dye to replicate this aspect of the character's appearance is why it bugged people. Actors cut and dye their hair all the time for roles. So why didn't they have Amy for Lois? So, in my opinion, it's an understandable fan quibble.
